Her Mistake

FATE OF A POOR WOMAN wHo.ToLD THE
TRUTH.
When the steamer Arizona, Of the
Guion line, was about to leave port
for Liverpool on..Tuesday, young
woman bearing q child2in her arms
came down to the pier hurriedly.
She was plainly but neatly dressed
in black. Her face was pleasing but
it wore distressed expression. She
started up the gang-way of the Ar-
IONA, when she was abruptly stopped
by an official Of the company, who
asked to see her ticket. She, pre-
duced ticket for herself.
GLOW old is yonr child p asked
the official.
GA year and nine months" re-
piled the mother, and made a motion
to proceed aboard.
II must see q ticket for the child
before can permit you aboard, "
said the official, grimly.
For my child | have no ticket
for him." said the woman alarmed.
"Then you must procure one."
"But am without the means"
II can't help that. If you go
aboard they will seize your baggage
on the other side for the child's fare
"Let them - she exclaimed. 81
must get home with my baby"
The official directed her to the
ticket office to state her case.
Thither she went, while the shout,
"All aboard p gave warning that the
ship was about to sail. AS the boat
was moving out the officialiwas ask
ed if the woman was aboard.
"No," he replied, "they refused to
allow her. The woman's mistake
was in not lying about the age of
her baby. If it had been under
twelve months old the child could
have gone free of charge"
"What about the baggage 2"

CLOTHING.
A tall, heavy, red-faced woman,

harmless looking little man wearing
a pair of conspicuously shabby
old trousers of a faded-butternut

A Trained Left Hand.


Many are the advantages missed by the
on-cultivation Of the left hand. Occa-
sionaily an artisan is seen who is equally
able to handle tools with either hand.
Such one has constant advantage over
his fellows, not only in the avoidance of
fatigue, but in doing nice work and over
coming with ease difficulties that present
themselves to those skilled only with one
hand. The man who can use hammer
or knife or perform any other feat with
the left hand at the same time that the
right is busy will find frequent occasion
to exercise his skill. Another and i'm
portaat reason for training the left hand
to act with as great ease and precision as
possible is that if injury occurs to the
right hand the left can exercise readily
all the functions possible to one hand un-
aided. By training the left hand in youth
one would be spared, in such case, from
spending much valuable time in educating
muscles hardened by age and unaccus-
toned to obey the mandates of the will.

A Once Noted Indian S0uaw.

among the squaws accompanying Colo
row IN his peripatetic journeyings about
tho White river country, is Chipeta, the
wife of the lamented Ouray, the late head
chief of the Ute nation.
The career OF this woman saws the
Denver Republican, is beyond anything
yet written; even Fennimore Cooper, in
his description of the romance of alb
original life, falls far short of anything
like 1t In his character sketches.
Chipeta became best known to the peo-
pie of this country during the exciting
period leading up to and following the
Meeker massacre. The details of that
affair are yet fresh in the public mind,
so fresh indeed, as to Justify in the
minds of some people the present mill
tary activity in the minds of those only
too we'll acquainted with the treacherv of
the Ute character.
The Utes, prior to twenty years ago,
were unknown outside of the Washington
chronological bureau. They lived in the
Rocky Mountains, as they had lived for
centuries, and of all the tribes that roam
ed in nomadic freedom throughout the
west they had preserved the purity of
their traditions: their customes and mode
of living were the same as had been in
vogue in the beginning, and their mode
of government, republican in fotm, was
similar in practice to that of centuries
ago, before republic in this coantry
was ever dreamed of
In conformity with the long establish
ed custom the nation was on the eve of
the election Of head chief. Their was
a number of candidates and among them
was Ouray, who was supported by the
government against the claims of Igna-
clio, who had the SURFACES of the war
party. Ouray was for peace, and on this
platform he was elected. The contest ex-
cited a great deal of interest throughout
the country especially at Washington.
Following Ouray's election to the chief
tainship the first official act he was Gale d
upon to consider was the advisability of
a removal of his tribe from the moun-
tains of Colorado to Utah, and in connect
ion with proposed treaty between the
United States and the Ute nation he was
summoned to Washington. On his trip
he was accompanied by his wife. Both
he and Chipeta had in a measure adopted
the dress of civilized life.
They owned their own ranch, their
herds fed upon their own pastures, and
In essentials lived as white people and
enjoyed the comforts of civilized life.
These facts preceded the chief and his
consort to Washington, and with all the
romance. of their wild mountain life cling
ing about them, added to the heritage of
an ancient and warlike lineage, they
were received with open arms by the high
social circles of the capital city. Every
where they were feted and the doors of
the mansions in the West end sWunp in
ward at their approach.
Chipeta was idolized. She was clothed
in silks: her raiment was the fancy of
the best eastern dressmakers, and the
tawdry fnery accociated with life of

Great Telescopes.
The Forum for September.

1t is frankly to be admitted that for or
binary work enormous instrur ents are
not advantageous; those of moderate di-
mansions will do far more easily and
rapidly the work of which they are cap
able. 1t would be poor economy to shoot
squirrels with ffteen-inch cannon. OBJ
servers with smaller instruments, if they
have sharp eyes and use them faithfully,
can always find enough to do and can do
it well. But the great telescope has two
advantages which are decisive. In the
first place, it collects more light, and so
makes 1T possible to use higher magnify
ing powers, and thus virtually 20 draw
nearer to the object studied than we can
with a smaller one; and, in the next place,
in consequence of what is known as "dif-
fraction" the image of luminous point
made by large lens is smaller and
sharper than that made by small one.
The smaller the telescope the larger are
the so-called spurious disks" of the stars,
so that ia case of close double star for
instance, where our nine-inch telescope
shows only an oval disk, the twenty three
inch shows two fine distinctly separated
points. 1t is true that the atmos pheric
disturbances, which always prevail to
greater or less extent, very seriously af-
feet the seeing" with large instruments.
The "power of the prince of the air."
which is to the astronomer the very type
of the "total depravity of inanimate
things" on nine clear nights cut of ten
deprives great telescope of much of its
just superiority, SO that on an ordinary
night good observer with an aperture
of twelve or fifteen inches can make out
all that can be fairly seen with twenty
four or thirty inches at The same time.
And yet the writer has continually veri-
fed in his experience of DR.. Clark, who
said: "You can always see with a large
telescope everything shown by a smaller
one-a little better il the seeing is bad;
immensely better if is good" But when
a really good night comes, as once in
while it docs, then to a great telescope
heaven opens, new worlds appear, new
forms and features are discovered, old IL
lusions are dissipated, and observations
and measurements before beyond the
reach Of human skill become possible,
easy and accurate. In fact, the reason
ableness of wanting still larger telescopes
is identically the same as that of wanting
telescope at all. Of course, it is impos-
sible to predict what discoveries will be
made with the great Lick telescope when
1t is erected on its mountain of privilege
very likely none; it is not possible now
to go out at night, as some seem to think,
and pick up "discOveries" as one would
gather flowers in the forest. But we may
be sure of this, that it will collect data,
with micrometer, camera and spectre
scope, which will remove many difficulties,
will clear up doubts, will actually advance
our knowledge, and, what is still more
important, will prepare the way and hew
the steps for still higher climbing toward
the stars.

A Huge Geological Specimen.

In one of the class.rooms at the state
university, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, there is an ugly looking bowlder,
mounted us neatly and carefully on a
wooden frame as if there was something
remarkable about it. It seems that few
years ago Prof. Wiuchell, in impressing
on his geology class the features of the
ice age, had pointed out certain peculiar
marks on the rocks as the effects of the
great ice movement. All the stones and
rocks in the vicinity bear these traces,
and the professor requested the boys to
bring in some specimens for the recita-
ton next day. The facetious young men
combined forces, hired mule team and
spent good portion of the night in get
ting to the classroom a bowlder that
weighed tons instead of one weighing
ounces, as the geologist undoubtedly had
IN mind. When the professor entered
the class room next day he showed not
the slightest discomposure; but, on the
other hand, with the most tantalizing
self-possession, complimented the gentle
men on their industry in procuring a
specimen which so excellently illustrated
the point in question. And to cap the
climax he actually had the big thing
mounted.

A Tall Dog Story.

The story of the wounded collie who
was guided by two terriers to Kings Col
lege hospital in order to have his wound
dressed is very remarkable, but there are
still stranger instances of canine sagacity.
The Ettrick shepherd, for example, pos
sessed q collie which, through long and
faithful service, had come to bear strik-
ing facial resemblance to its master.
This dog was an assiduous church-goer
and would even occupy its masters pew
on occasions when Hogg himself played
truant from divine service. On Monday
after one of these occasions, when indis-
position had kept the shepherd home, the
minister of the parish called and found
Hogg sitting on one side of his ingle-
neuk, the dog on the other. "Weel,
James," said the minister, II was glad to
see you at the kirk yesterday" James
said nothing, but he looked across at the
dog; the dog, too, said nothing, but his
eye twinkled and he placedly winked at
James. This story is vouched for by
Hogg himself. an unimp eachable witness.
It seems to indicate an even subtler re-
fnement of canine intelligence than the
anecdote attested by the secretary and
porter of Kings Cross Hospital.
